Spring arrived for a brief visit. There were a few muddy boots and pants during the week as students jumped in the puddles. Students were also still skating and playing broomball on the ice, so spring has not completely taken over the activities.

Kimberly and Tyson Wawryk are members of the Table Mountain Ski Team. They participated, along with the rest of their team, in the Sask Cup held at Qu'Appelle. This is a competition between all the teams in Saskatchewan. They raced well and the Table Mountain Team won the Sask Cup. Congratulations to Kim and Tyson on a great skiing season.

The senior badminton team hosted Hafford last Thursday. These are exhibition games and help prepare teams for their conference playoffs in April.

A book fair was held last week. The door prize winner was Ashton Harris in Grade 6. He received $25 worth of books from the book fair. His homeroom teacher, Mrs. Jackson, also got to pick out $25 worth of books for the Grade 6 classroom.

The spring set of parent-teacher interviews were held the evenings of March 19 and 20. It was a chance to discuss student progress and to observe some of the wonderful work the students are doing in their classes.

Many students participated in the Hafford Music Festival during the past week. Individual performers playing the piano were Jordyn Fehr-Stead, Emma Usselman, Jocelyn Bzdel, Audrey Friesen and Jan Friesen. Jan and Audrey also performed a piano duet. They all performed very well.

Jordyn was awarded two second place awards. Audrey received two firsts and one second. Jan received one first place certificate. Jocelyn won a first place and two second place certificates. Audrey, Jan and Jocelyn all received a scholarship. Audrey Friesen was awarded a trophy for the best piano performance at the festival.

The Grades 2 to 5 choir performed very well. They were awarded a mark of 92 for their performance of The Moon. They also received a mark of 86 for Stodola Pumpa. They were awarded first place in the category of classroom chorus, any combination of students K-6.

They were invited to the gala performance Friday night but were unable to attend. At the concert they received a trophy and a $40 scholarship. Thanks to Audrey Friesen for accepting these on the choir's behalf. Thanks to Mrs. Brehon, Mrs. Stott and Ms. Gillatt for their work with the choir.

If you have driven past the school lately, you will have noticed the new sign on the lawn. A year and a half ago, a committee was formed to do fundraising. They chose to raise funds for a new sign to be placed on the school lawn. This sign would display important events happening at the school. The sign arrived a few weeks ago and has now been erected. We would like to thank the fundraising committee, staff and families who sold football tickets, and everyone who supported any fundraising activities.

A very successful hot dog sale was held March 26. All the proceeds from the sale will be given to Nate Starycki and his family to help with a few expenses while they are at the Toronto Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto. Thanks to the SLC and Jean Brehon for organizing the sale. Special thanks to the Battlefords Co-op for donating all the supplies, and everyone who supported the fundraiser by purchasing hot dogs or sending donations. Staff and students think of Nate and his family often and wish them all the best.

The staff and students would like to express deepest sympathies to Jeremy Haidenger on the passing of his mother, Donna Brunet. Jeremy is a Grade 7 student in the school. Thoughts are with him and his family.

Staff and students would like to express their gratitude and best wishes to two bus drivers. Mel Deagnon has decided to retire and Clifford Greenslade has decided to pursue another employment opportunity. They are thanked for all their service and commitment to the students of the school. Everyone at the school wishes Mel and Clifford the best of health and happiness in their new pursuits.

There will be no school March 28. The staff will be involved in a professional development day. The topic will be inclusion in the classroom.

Hopefully, everyone will be able to get outside soon and see those fresh new spring crocuses.
